What you need to know

Plugable has a new range of USB-C adapters available now.
VGA, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and HDMI adapters are available.
They each cost $14.95 – or less if you're quick.

Apple isn't the only one that's making computers with fewer and fewer ports but it's definitely the worst offender. You can get a modern Mac portable with any port you want, so long as it's USB-C and Thunderbolt. Plugable knows that's less than ideal – will someone tell Apple, too? – so they just released four new USB-C adapters including VGA, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and HDMI.

All of the new adapters are available now and cost $14.95 apiece. But if you order quickly and take advantage of the Amazon coupon you'll save a few bucks. Here's what's on offer.

Mirror or extend a 4K HDMI monitor, projector, or TV to your laptop.

USB-C adapters can often be big unsightly things, but Plugable's engineered these to be as svelte as possible so they don't take up all the space in your bag.

With a compact design smaller than most USB-C adapters, these connectors are convenient additions to your workspace without adding clutter. Additionally, their size makes them perfect to take with you on-the-go wherever you need reliable connection or an extra screen.

Each adapter comes with a two-year warranty and everything is completely plug-and-play. No drivers needed here!

Again, all of the adapters are available from Amazon now with the links above – remember to clip that coupon, too.
